Successfully recruiting a football player to become your client is difficult. Sitting around waiting for your client to be selected on one of the days of the NFL Draft is stressful. But nothing may be as challenging for NFLPA Contract Advisors as this week, when many will have their clients cut by NFL teams and search long and hard for a new club for their players to join.

Some cut players will find a new home on another NFL team. Others may have to opt for the Canadian Football League or Arena Football League. And there are always those who are faced with the realization that their dreams of playing professional football are over. Tough times to be an agent. A few agents are more willing than others to share the pain of “cut week.”
